Old friends and memories

Recently on Facebook there have been a lot of nostalgic memories being surfaced and passed around among some folks! 'Way Back' day brought pics to be posted from early days by a lot of people. It's been a lot of fun...of the bittersweet kind, to be honest; for who among us does not have mixed emotions of our youth?

Not long ago an old school friend (a friend of my sister, actually) found my name on 'Classmates.'I had joined that website years ago, hoping to find some of my girlfriends from Jr. High.

Thomas (Tommy) and my sister were in 3-4 grade together. I knew him too, but I was a couple grades ahead. He recognized our name and emailed me...LOL- and as they say,'The Rest is History!'We were all 3 happy to connect with someone from our 'Way back' days.

Turns out we are all on FB-. It's been fun talking about old-OLD- times and comparing who we remember - in common! There's something very special about meeting up again with someone who grew up in your own little town-went to your schools and knows, at least some of the same people! (LOL - If we can get the names to fit the faces!!)

Our friend sent me this in an Email tonight...very fitting, I thought!

I've also enjoyed seeing everyone's old pictures and as you say, the memories they have brought back of our youth certainly is bittersweet. So often I wish we could go back to these days when life was so simple. How fun that you were able to reconnect with an old school friend:-) Love this song!! xoxo
